论康有为、谭嗣同对佛学的共同关注

On Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong’s Common Concern for Buddhism

近代哲学家大都对佛学有所关注,但每个人对佛学的取舍和建构大不相同。其中,康有为、谭嗣同的佛学观最为接近,这通过四个方面体现出来:第一,将佛学置于孔教、佛教和耶教组成的三教关系中予以审视,热衷于对三教进行顺序排列。第二,以仁整合三教的共同宗旨,以此凸显佛教与孔教、耶教的一致性。第三,为佛学注入近代的价值理念和诉求,肯定佛学追求平等。第四,将佛学与中国近代社会的救亡图存直接联系起来,充分发挥佛学的救世功能。

Most modern philosophers pay attention to Buddhism,and everyone’s choice and construction of Buddhism are quite different.Among them,Kang Youwei’s and Tan Sitong’s views on Buddhism are the closest,which can be seen from four aspects:First,Buddhism should be examined in the relationship among Confucianism,Buddhism and Christianity,and they are keen to arrange the three religions in order.Second,to integrate the common purpose of the three religions with benevolence,so as to highlight the consistency of Buddhism,Confucianism and Christianity.Thirdly,they infuse modern values and demands into Buddhism,and affirm that Buddhism pursues equality.Fourth,they directly link Buddhism with the salvation of modern Chinese society,and give full play to the salvation function of Buddhism.
